Thanks Suki for your thoughts. Yes, i'm quite looking forward to a freezing of assets - not my own of course! The cat name was probably inspired by Gormenghast who knows.

Graham, yes I agree about the facelifts in London - gradually starved of character and the death of small business ; after all it was all an amalgamation of small villages at one time. I think the Black Friars would be well put out. I have some photos of my mum and dad courting on Epsom Downs! Thanks so much your comments are appreciated.

Eagle eye Col. Quite right sir about nametag! What have you been on recently? How about Gutentag the friendly German. Glad you liked the cat - I only put him in as a sort of adjunct to an otherwise bleak offering.

I think 'nametag' is two words - I initially read it with three syllables as in some Eskimo name - Nametag the Seal Hunter perhaps 😉 Like Nanook of the North. Now there's a tale - Eskimos on the Thames building igloos during the next ice age - when the Gulf Stream has been shut down by a melting Arctic. We're all dooomed!

as Graham said - Good work!

and as Suki said - Screwforce the cat..Brilliant. In fact that verse is brill - 'his bowl in a caring foreman's corner' brought a tear to my eye. Honest guv.

I returned to the Blackfriars area recently after an initial visit in 1970, what change! For a country boy like me (even though I live in the modern town of Milton Keynes) London is best viewed from afar! Epsom Downs is a good place.

And the new riverside apartments, nice to look at, but cost a king's ransom, often have plaster board walls - and some house only ghosts, as they are often bought for their "value", and then left to "appreciate".

Anyway the dollar will crash at some point and we will have the reset of resets, and poor Nigel's stomach will probably develop more serious ulcers..
